Participation in the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund policy by dentists in South Carolina's safety net
The PRF achieved its goal of distributing financial support to providers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. But without policy imperatives linked to need-based allocations or incentives for PRF recipients to serve safety net populations, we may later learn this was a missed opportunity for PRF
Safe, supportive neighborhoods
The findings from this study highlight the role of social structures in tightening the safety net for oral healthcare in children

The oral health status of America's rural children
As preparations are made for the 2020 Surgeon General's report on oral health, the current study provides important evidence to inform future advocacy and legislative priorities. To reduce urban-rural disparities among children, there must be enhanced dental care access, dental workforce expansion, and increased awareness about preventive oral health services
Evaluation of Rapid Testing Algorithms for Venue-based Anonymous HIV Testing among Non-HIV-Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men, National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS), 2017
HIV rapid testing algorithms (RTAs) using any two orthogonal rapid tests (RTs) allow for on-site confirmation of infection. RTs vary in performance characteristics therefore the selection of RTs in an algorithm may affect identification of infection, particularly if acute. National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) assessed RTAs among men who have sex with men recruited using anonymous venue-based sampling. Different algorithms were evaluated am…
Demonstration of payer readiness for value‐based care in a fee‐for‐service environment
A sealant measure that assesses provider adherence to sealant standards of care was produced. It has potential application for assessing performance of pediatric preventive services and informing value-based performance expectations
An alternative early childhood caries risk surveillance methodology for public policy and practice advancements
We have found an affordable way of measuring county level risk for ECC that allows pediatric advocates and policy-makers to develop population level interventions to reduce and measure risk with public-use data
Exploring associations between adverse childhood experiences and oral health among children and adolescents
Pediatricians, dental hygienists, and dentists need to be aware of how childhood trauma may hinder both caregivers and children from engaging in preventive oral health care or dental treatment. The information provided in our study can inform policies and programs that support children's oral health, through the identification and mitigation of childhood trauma
An Assessment of Participant‐Described Interprofessional Oral Health Referral Systems Across Rurality
PURPOSE: As a means to identify and quantify oral health interprofessional collaborative practice (IPP), we examined participant-described medical-to-dental (M2D) referral networks and how they function across rurality. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey on the appraisal of IPP referral systems in 2016. Secondarily, we examined if rural health clinics (RHCs) have different experiences with M2D referrals compared to other practice type…
Impact of South Carolina's Medicaid fluoride varnish reimbursement policy on children's receipt of fluoride varnish in medical and dental settings
A policy designed to increase access to FV treatments from physicians and dentists for children up to forty-seven months of age was not successful for physicians; however, the positive findings for dentists were promising
Maternal Obesity and Gestational Weight Gain in Rural Versus Urban Dwelling Women in South Carolina
Purpose: An unhealthy prepregnancy weight and/or gaining an inappropriate amount of weight during pregnancy increase the risk for poor pregnancy and birth outcomes. To our knowledge, no studies to date have examined differences in prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) patterns by rurality. Methods: The 2004‐2006 South Carolina birth certificate data (n = 132,795) were used. Rurality of residence was determined using…
The Metabolic Syndrome
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the differences in prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its individual components across rural‐urban populations, as well as to determine the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome and examine how they contribute toward rural‐urban disparity. Methods: Data came from the 1999‐2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, restricting to 6,896 participants aged 20 years or more wit…
Rural Populations and Health
Analysis of hospital‐based emergency department visits for dental caries in the United States in 2008
The Affordable Care Act may reduce the proportion of self-pay visits for dental care. Medicaid expansion may not result in improved dental use among Medicaid patients unless dental services are covered and dental practitioners appropriately engaged
Differences in Readiness Between Rural Hospitals and Primary Care Providers for Telemedicine Adoption and Implementation
Purpose: Published advantages of and challenges with telemedicine led us to examine the scope of telemedicine adoption, implementation readiness, and barriers in a southern state where adoption has been historically low. We hypothesized that rural hospitals and primary care providers (RPCPs) differ on adoption, readiness, and implementation barriers. We examined the degree to which they differ on (a) telemedicine adoption or readiness; (b) teleme…
Prediction of Unmet Primary Care Needs for the Medically Vulnerable Post-Disaster
Disasters serve as shocks and precipitate unanticipated disturbances to the health care system. Public health surveillance is generally focused on monitoring latent health and environmental exposure effects, rather than health system performance in response to these local shocks. The following intervention study sought to determine the long-term effects of the 2005 chlorine spill in Graniteville, South Carolina on primary care access for vulnerab…
